Overall, OC is a decent college, with a few obvious flaws. I'll do cons before pros. Cons: Cost. OC has, by far, the highest cost of attendance in the state. Base cost is 28,000/semester Christian in name, not in practice. Very little was done to glorify or preach the Bible outside of class. Chapel was rarely actually Bible related and more pushing announcements. Orientation was nothing short of a dance party. Physical relations are prohibited but not enforced on campus, and they are blind to their students' actions. Students have openly admitted to me that they sneak people of the opposite gender into their dorm and make out, etc. There is also a park just north of campus where people go as well. Students go to 18+ bars and dance clubs.
Pros: Amazing professors. They cared about me, checked on me when I couldn't make it to class for health issues, made class as easy as possible with open book quizzes and in class homework, and explained everything in detail to my understanding. The only reason you don't succeed is because you don't ask. Great engineering program. Cannot speak for other majors, but their engineering program is insanely good. They even start early with a fun activity to help you decide on the best direction in engineering to go. [Go mechanical, it's just math]. Decent food. It's not perfect, but they got chickfula, which I had consumed so much of that I momentarily stopped liking it after the semester ended. Great coffee/library. I'm not a big library guy, but if you need a book, they have a decent collection spread on 3 floors. Even have a kids section. But the coffee is amazing. It's cheap and open to the public, so it's worth the trip. The only wish was that they could sell half-gallon coffees. I would totally buy one. Decent community. Whilst I am myself an introvert, the college helps pull you out of your comfort zone while not forcing you to. I had plenty of time to chill with my room mate, who was also introverted, and play video games and watch anime, whilst having many an opportunity to interact with fellow engineers, as well as music majors who are all extroverts, lol. Gym/pool/basketball courts. All three are inside a building, and all are accessible to students, so long as you have ur student ID. Outsiders have to pay. But I could do push-ups and use the basic equipment there to get what I needed to do. Biking is encouraged. They have bicycle bars to lock your bike everywhere. Every building. It makes the trip much faster. I will end with this: at least 25% of the students are attractive, so good luck.
These are my points. Do with them...

Read moreIn my opinion, the cost did not justify the education, people or overall experience. I am not Church of Christ but grew spiritually at times because I wanted to be closer to God and I learned a lot from the required Bible classes. As far as staff go, Tony Alley was the highlight of the art department and connected with all his students and he passed away after I graduated. Thank you God for his advice to me as my advisor when I almost dropped out and was about to give up on collge. Talented art teachers but definitely had their favorites they spent time in class advising. The rest of us felt ignored or singled out in front of the class. There were a lot of adjuncts that taught me a lot who also taught at UCO. For the price, in painful hindsight- as I will be paying off loans for years to come even with having received a ton of financial aide and scholarships each year, I would have received the same quality education at UCO down the street and would be out of debt...
